diet pepsi is bad

fun to clean up every cranny and nook

lol..next time you can come over to help.

I still use white flour in a few recipes. Pizza bases being one of those.

I figure what's the point of making them if they're going to end up like a lead weight. We don't eat white breads though at all and are actually very careful with other foods, but I still use white flour to make a pizza base.

What concerns me more about bought pizzas is the amount of oil in them. That's enough to set off a liver frenzy any day. I find if I have eaten something and it's not agreeable and just sitting in my tummy groaning, then I take my digestive enzymes and then it helps heaps. I vaguely recall some consumer study about take away foods and pizza was up there on the list of bad things but that was chiefly because if was like a puddle of grease.

I try to make everything myself, but I get lazy sometimes. There are two people with hollow legs around here... well one really, my son. I use brown rice, but I don't prefer it. I will buy other rices like basmati and jasmine for myself, because that's what I prefer with certain dishes. Brown rice is actually a little hard for me to digest.

we have been making pizza on the flavored tortillas. low fat. the wheat is wonderful. but i LOVE the sun dried tomato basil. makes a thin crispy crust.

i love veggies on pizza. not much a curred meat fan. or i will use leftover chicken.

now i'm hungry.

Oh yeah. They're so handy aren't they? We do that as well. Pita bread or even Turkish Pide is good for that too. We like our Turkish bread.

I still like to make an authentic Italian style pizza from time to time.

Less is best on top of a pizza for me. My children tend to like all manner of things combined, but I prefer just the tomato pizza sauce I make and some fresh cut oregano and sprinkled with a good melting cheese or else I sometimes just break up some bocconcinni (sp?)

yes the oil is bad also in red baron pizza -its hydrogenated i think

that's just so funny with all that cocoa powder going everywhere. oh, i just remembered..... one time, i got a package from my cousin. it was a manila envelope, so i tried opening it. couldn't, so i use a pair of scissors to make a cut and ripped it open. *poof* i was covered from head to toe in powder! it was apparently an insulation padded envelope, which i had never come across before. eeesh! it was a mess, since it went all over my desk, as well. what a cleanup. in the envelope was a birthday present - a box of jigsaw puzzle. it's so hilarious, though. and a weird surprise.

I also try to eat things as plainly as possible. White flour? No, not if I can at all help it. I eliminated it from my diet eons ago. Whole grains, whole wheat and as little sugar as possible for me. I can't handle rice in any fashion (white or otherwise) as it makes my joints pain terribly. I'll take a sweet potato anyday and only remember the days of white potatoes.
